Topic: Tiny Core v4.0 (Read 48370 times)

few issues on my side (today status; mc4.0):- error on boot now "hwclock: can t open dev/misc/rtc no such file or directory"; I use the bootcode TZ=....- booting probably increased from 49 (3.8.4) to 51s (4.0) for my young PC. Perhaps this is coming from the boot code ide_core ignore_cable=1 which is nomore working. my second HDD (6GB) is nomore recognized as UDMA66 with this ide_core boot code. I will dig into this topic how to regain boot speed: perhaps making a non persistent home on this (now) UDMA33 drive, or play again with other boot codes. Im not sure of the test: perhaps I deleted the nozswap. I must have a look again at the box.- usb_modeswitch.tcz missingChange: the screen stay dark now without pci=use_crs. So, this is a mandatory boot code for me now.If somebody has any idea how to improve the speed.. what boot code makes now a miracle.. ?swap=sdc2 as boot code slow the pc: it seems that automatic swap detection (no boot code) is quicker.

I downloaded the iso and then run a format and syslinux on my USB stick. Copied over the tc* and boot directories and moved the syslinux.cfg and associate files to the root of the USB stick. I labelled my USB drive "tce" and changed the syslinux.cfg to user LABEL="tce" where label="MultiCore" previously was.

After some exploration I found that the USB drive was actually labelled TCE and not tce. I'd used Win7 to create and label the USB drive. I think if you use Windows the drive label will be all uppercase, even if in Windows it is displayed in lowercase. I would suggest that the base syslinux.cfg use all uppercase for the label.

I installed both (ver 2 and 3)I got the icons in wbar but when I tried to click on it - no program start.Then I installed minefield and served for a while and the screen froze.TCL 3.XX worked on same machine ok

Can't help but notice how system performance has improved tremendously with v4.x Thx

I do wonder about the app search capability. noted in an earlier post that apps can be searched for by typing in the first few letters of the extension name which functions well. Only thing is many apps begin with unexpected letters or names; take for example gpaint which used to be GNUpaint, try searching for paint and see what happens...?

IIRC searching for the function of an extension would result in all the choices available, not so in v4.x it seems; try searching for browser, which results in zip! I thought that was a positive feature of earlier versions??

Cool thanks, See I didn't realize that option existed. search works great now!!Is keywords new?

have tried various searches and the features work well but I wonder how come the provides and keywords are not incorporated in search?? I can see how one might want to narrow the search, but initial searches? just a thought.
